Join the EDCJCC and the Jewish Social Impact Network to hear from a panel of former federal and federal-adjacent professionals.

After the last several months, as rounds of federal and federal-adjacent layoffs have turned people’s lives upside down, many in our community find themselves trying to figure out what’s next. Join us and the Jewish Social Impact Network (JSI) for an evening that blends Jewish wisdom, practical inspiration, and career strategy.

Hear from a panel of former federal and federal-adjacent professionals who have successfully pivoted into new careers for inspiration on how to take a leap of faith into something new. Each panelist will share their story and lessons learned about aligning personal values, professional skills, and opportunities to do good in the world. Following the panel, attendees will have time for small-group conversations with the speakers and their peers — a chance to share experiences, ask questions, and identify next steps.

Please note that this workshop is intended for people impacted by federal job cuts. It is open to former federal and federal-adjacent employees. This event is free, but you must RSVP to attend.
